The acquisition forms part of Yoshiharu’s plan to operate 13 restaurants by the end of 2023.

Yoshiharu then plans to open four new restaurants by the first quarter of 2024 and expects growth of more than 80% in annual revenues from the newly opened establishments and acquisitions.

Yoshiharu president, CEO and board chairman James Chae stated: “We anticipate our authentic Japanese culinary dishes to blend seamlessly with the diverse offerings of each acquired location, propelling the Yoshiharu brand beyond the borders of California.

“We aim to strategically leverage the existing residential customer base in the Las Vegas area and tap into the opportunities presented by tourist attractions to establish a formidable presence in this vibrant city.

“As we look ahead to the rest of the year, these new additions to our portfolio are anticipated to serve as catalysts in propelling our financial growth into new heights as we head into the seasonal and holiday momentum.”
